Here's an ad from VSE's "Fast Lines" selling off the engines in October 1981. Can't really tell. Smaller version is a 309, not a 303.
I agree that a short-deck SCCA Trans Am engine makes more sense, perhaps even more so with Tom Nell building it. Probably the magazine got it wrong. Seems like a pretty big error in an otherwise thorough article, though.
